You want a 3080 or 3080ti 10 or 12 GB for 4k if you are playing demanding games at all. A 3070 can 4k game, but limitedly. I have a friend with a similar set up and a 3080 10GB has been plenty for his gaming needs.

 

and yes an 850 watt PSU is enough for a 3080.

I would consider checking the price on the 5900x or the 5800x3D (releases April 20th). the 5900x came way down in price so it might not be a huge jump from the 5800x.
Other than that everything looks fine.

5900x is 100€ more, is it worth it? And 5800x3D can't get in my country.

You can downgrade the cpu to 5600X or 12400F if you are gaming 4k as it will make pretty much no difference if you run 12900k or 12400f/5600x. And 2x8GB 3200MHz ddr4 is plenty for gaming. 3080ti/6900xt would be my choice for gpu but that depends on prices too.

Eh its up to you. If you are only gaming a 5600x/5800x will be plenty. A 5900x might give you like a 3-6 fps boost in some games. If you are video editing or anything along, the 5900x is a beast at that. but the 5600x and 5800x are already stupid powerful.

Also I just noticed: If you are getting a Ryzen CPU, get a 3600Mhz CL16 RAM. You can get it pretty cheap in non RGB formats. Ryzen likes fast ram. Also you don't really need 32GB. The friend with the same setup is running 16 GB of ram in his. and you can always add 2 more sticks later if you need to. But if you want 32Gb by all means!

I have almost the exact same setup as the OP with a few tweaks mentioned in the post.

AMD Ryzen 5600X

32 GB 3200MHz CL16 from Crucial

Corsair SF750

Node 202 from Fractal

Radeon RX 580

1 TB Samsung 980 Pro

2 TB Sabrent Rocket Gen 4

Asus ROG Strix X570-I Gaming

 

I recently got my hands on a 3070 Ti to replace my aging RX580. Of course that meant a new case and new power supply. I went with the Lian Li O11 Dynamic Evo and a 1000 Watt PSU from Seasonic (overkill, sure but room for additions). My biggest issue is that I think my motherboard is too small for the case. None of the cables reach - well reach with slack. The AIO I bought, H150I Elite, doesn't seem to reach no matter what orientation I put it.

 

So that said, I saw mostly 3080 and up for video card recommendations but looking at a 3070 Ti and 3080 on paper, it seems like they are just about the same but did I make a bad call going for the 3070 Ti. I have a 4K Samsung 65" Neo QLED TV and my RX580 did OK though it wasn't pushing 4K. I don't plan to play games at 4K but do consume content at high resolutions when possible. Should I have picked up a 3080 instead?
